Trauma Recovery Anonymous

We have to climb out of the Nest of Vipers that is Depression & PTSD.

There was a time when we were as normal as could be, considering we were carrying around demons from our past.

One day, we went for help and were told the problem and solution was that we were mentally ill, we had a mental disorder.

But unlike any normal medical diagnosis, for this to work, we had to fully embrace the diagnosis and fit ourselves to the diagnosis.

This meant not only attending all therapy commitments or taking all the prescribed medications, but if it wasn't working, then the problem lay with us; we hadn't fully committed to the diagnosis, and there would be no clear sign of it working until we embraced it fully.

It was like our condition was a dark pit of snakes, a brood of vipers; man's deadliest mortal enemies; and we were expected to climb into bed with them, and allow them to rule and define us completely.

This meant we had always to keep up appearances; we couldn't have a good day, and God forbid, we couldn't have a good week, there had to be some expression of our condition, no matter how little or minor, for others to know, this was our true reality.

It is so hard to maintain this permanent state of being with the normal people in our lives, family, friends, etc.

It's much easier if we push them all away and invest ourselves in the world of our diagnosis. 

But there is a heavy price to pay, because it can feel that there is no way back, and so we search for meaning and purpose in our pain and suffering, 

This lie, we start to believe and live, destroys our soul, the very essence of who we are meant to be

We are not meant to find our meaning and purpose in the suffering of our inner child.

That was their meaning and purpose

They were the victim of their pain and suffering

We each are the survivor today, a totally different aspect of the one I AM.

The past is none of our business; we have no valid reason to suffer it in the present.

We must climb out of that dark pit and climb back into the sunlight of the spirit in the present.

This is the truth that shall set you free, all it requires is honesty, open-mindedness & willingness

Honesty to accept your best efforts at embracing that truth isn't working

Open-minded to consider you are not mentally ill, you do not have a mental disorder, rather you have a broken spirit,  a spiritual malady, a hole in your soul

The willingness to try something different, something old, something new, to claim the promised miracles of the Bible; to cast out your demons; to quieten the voices in your head; and break free of the bondage of the past by embracing a two-part spiritual solution

I have been challenged by thoughts and ideas about whether I was ever a Christian, which is compelling me to face this truth.

I recall as a child being baptized as an infant in our local Roman Catholic church, and I believed, my parents believed, I was baptized into the Christian faith.

But over time, I have come to question this.

As s roman catholic, I never bothered to read the bible, that it wasn't necessary; having been baptized my soul was saved; but when I challenged this, and found to my horror, that being baptized with water by another human being, only means I am an accepted member of that denomination, and  not baptized as a Christian, this shook me to the core.

Despite the numbers stating there are 45,000 different churches and denominations and some 3 billion Christian members and some 17 million Jews in the world today, how is it that the Bible tells us only 144,000 souls will be saved at the end of time?

Might all these 3 billion Christians  not be Christian; unknown to them; they are all members of man-made churches and a multitude of denominations.

Quite possibly most of God's children have no awareness that they have been actual Christians as they have not been baptized the Holy Spirit!

This would explain why the number in the Bible; 144,000;  is so low.

So ask yourself these questions;

Have you been baptized with the Holy Spirit?

Have you harmed one hair on the head of a child of God, whether Jewish, Christian, young children, or the unborn?

Do you worship false gods for your salvation, health, or sanity like: alcohol, drugs, medication, mental disorders; habitual behaviors, co-dependency, blame, shame, guilt, anger, rage, sex, porn, food, sugar, etc.

Do you support Planned Parenthood or abortion?

Do you promote or support transgenderism?

Do you support men identifying as women?

Do you allow the Anti-Christ to thrive in your land?

Do you support the Anti-Christ and his followers over God's own children?

Do you undermine the family?

Do you promote that same sex couples can marry in a house of God and can act as parents?

These are the kind of questions you need to answer correctly to define whether you are a member of a denomination only or you are a Christian also.

For many of us, we have to break free of the old self, so that we can become a new creation

This means dying to our old self so that we can stand tall and declare:

I AM a child of God

I AM a sibling of Jesus the Jew

I AM  Richard the Christ

This program, Trauma Recovery Anonymous, is a spiritual solution that will enable you to step into your Christian birthright

Only you can do this for yourself

But you can carry this good news to your family and friends today

So many  people feel without purpose in their lives, they get caught up in their feelings and this can lead to terrible despondency, despair, depression and a complete pointless sense of hopelessness.

The  trick is to find some meaning  and purpose by being of service  to others.

Go down to the local animal shelter; give of your time and energy to the lost and  abandoned puppies and dogs, you will find here. you will see your pain in them and more importantly as you give of yourself, you will experience the hope, joy and gratitude in them for the simple act by you, of just showing up. commit to this for a month, and in 30 days you will look back amazed at how low you once were.

 Then volunteer to visit  the sick, the elderly in hospitals, hospices and old folks homes. Many of these folks have been abandoned, left to die; the trick is to give them meaning to their lives. Suggest, you don't have a person with experience and wisdom for life in your life and you are looking for someone to fill that void. Make is see you are giving them the opportunity to be there for you, rather than you for them. the effect  will be mind billowingly beautiful,  as you experience others being given meaning and purpose when they too felt they were on the scrap heap of life.

Finally as you grow in stature, go down to your local police station and get clearance to work with children, and then head to the local, children's hospital, hospice or orphanage and volunteer to visit, to sit with or to play or feed children in dire need of being held.

You will see yourself in each and everyone of these moments of you giving your life, you were ready to discard, to animals, old people and children who will cherish every moment you share with them.

You may have past trauma or demons that can hold you back and in that  case you will need to address them.

this program enables you to cast out your demons

slay your dragons past

break free of the bondage of the past

 & 

expel the voices in your head, daily for up to 24 hours at a time

this spiritual solution is called Trauma Recovery Anonymous

Anxiety is a Call to Action.

Recall your first anxious moments before you were diagnosed.

understand when you were anxious, this was God trying to tell you to

Flight

Fight

Freeze

Fawn

Faith

Acceptance

Understand Freeze & Fawn are healthy coping skills for young children. They are not the responses for us as we get older, from adolescence to adulthood.

choose Flight- to run away,

choose  Fight - ask for help, seek a solution, just say no

choose Faith- put your faith in your parents, in God

choose Acceptance-understand you are no one's victim, it's not all about you

You do your homework when invited to events, so you can talk to other people, you can have a conversation, and you can hold your own

In this way, you will grow in confidence, and you will become more relaxed in who you might be.

As your confidence grows, you will become more independent and assured.

Anxiety, like all your emotions, is a Call to Action.

Learn about the two sets of voices you have to choose correctly from.

You can do this today, it's not rocket science

Please take the time to share this Good News with everyone you know, your support group fellow members, family, friends, all your contacts in your contact list.

My guest today, a childhood trauma survivor, took the path of recovery to go from Victim to Survivor to Victor and today a Helper.

Saw Myint, became a committed Buddhist, which helped her to heal more and, in turn, to help others to heal too.

Experience can matter more than knowledge; we no longer allow our trauma to play a part in our lives. This is a truth of Buddha.

In the whole world, there is only the mind and the body.

As humans, we might look different, yet we all feel and think based on the experiences of things that have already passed.

If we can let go of the past completely, we are then feeding on the memory; the past trauma has already left, and we just have to learn to move on.

Deep breathing can help a person to move on.

Despite the trauma, we still have our lives, and that is the most important truth to remember.

Trauma Recovery Anonymous promotes that our meaning and purpose can only be found in life and living today.

What happened in our past happened to a different aspect of who we are today.

I am a grown man, 65 years of age, a husband, father and trauma recovery coach 

. The aspect of me who suffered a traumatic event 53 years ago was a 12-year-old child. he was the victim of that event

I am the survivor today.

We are different aspects, living two completely different lifetimes.

In his lifetime, he lived with his parents and all his siblings in the family home in Ireland.

Today, my parents are dead, and one of my siblings died of leukemia, which reaffirms that the past has no business in my present today.

But thankfully, there is a spiritual solution to heal the hole in your soul. You give the details and baggage of the past back to your inner child, and suddenly, they can leave this plane of existence.

This is the gift of recovery, of letting your inner child go, to step into the light, and in that moment, you are free of the bondage of the past.

If only we would teach all children that all of their feelings, the good ones and the bad ones, are calls to action; our Instincts in action; the world would be a better place.

When we feel anxious, that is God telling us there is something in the future that threatens our sense of well-being. That we are to take some form of affirmative action now in the present to prepare for that event, or to be able to walk away from it.

Flight 

Fight

Freeze

Fawn

Faith

Acceptance

Let's imagine, you have been selected by your teacher to speak at a public speaking event, and the anxiety overpowers you.

Rather than letting it do so, rather than medicating how you feel, you ask for help. You speak to your teacher, let them know you don't want them to fix or save you from the experience, but any tips, advice, suggestions, and resources would be appreciated. You use them, and on the day, you walk off to a standing ovation.

Or,  you are going on a date or for an interview. You put your faith in your elders, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, a favorite teacher; you learn from others. You learn how they cope, and you copy them. Most importantly, understand that the person you are meeting likes you; that is the only reason you're being asked on a date or being given an interview opportunity in the first place, 

Think about it, to ask someone out, you'd need to be attracted to them first, wouldn't you? This means, despite your low confidence, that the other person is attracted to some part of you; take confidence in that.

You might be invited to a social event, and you are feeling socially anxious, but in this moment, you realize your instincts are telling you to take some form of affirmative action, and so you contact the host; own your anxiety, and ask them to tell you a bit about the other people attending. 

Once you know what they are  into, you do your homework on their activities & interests, their hobbies, ;  to start a conversation or to join an existing  conversation and when asked for your opinion, you have one to give.

You realize Your Anxiety is a Superpower, an instinct always trying to empower you to handle life on life's terms, or better still, Life on God's terms.

Over time, you will grow in quiet confidence, and in a short space of time, people will look on you as one of the strong, silent types.

We are human beings, each the member of the human race, animals have only 3 responses to danger, but we, who were created in the image of God, have six responses.

we can Flight; and run away

We can Fight; to stand up for ourselves or seek a solution

We can Freeze; shut down mentally & emotionally

We can Fawn: wear a mask, people please

We can Faith; put our faith in God or one of the many higher powers available to us

We can Acceptance; understand we are no-one's victim, it isn't  all about us; people act out to fulfil their own nefarious needs, and ultimately has nothing to do with us- we are collateral damage only.

We can be in charge of our emotions or we can make the grievous error of allowing our feelings to control us.

It is a decision we each make it that moment

We can no longer blame others for how we feel, because  we are the ones choosing to feel or not feel, to suffer in silence or to take affirmative action and trust our God given instincts.

This book,

HOW TO LIVE STRESS & ANXIETY FREE 24 HOURS A DAY,

is a simple book, written for the 290 million children aged 10-19, diagnosed with mental disorders, a crime against the future of mankind and a sin against God, teaching one to trust their\and feelings and to correct their thoughts to be a part of their solution

Depression is caused by not being able to break free of the past. But the issue here is the fact that the past is not ours to suffer in the present.

What happened in the past happened to our inner child, and we only exist in this one hour, here and now today. We can't step back into any of our yesterdays, and for this simple reason, the past is not ours to suffer, because we cannot effect any change on it.

Depression is a God-given instinct, telling us we can't change any part of the past, and so we must let go of it completely.

It is not a mental illness nor is it a mental disorder; it is a call to action to return the details and the baggage of the event back to its rightful owner, that inner child who suffered it.

Thankfully, there is such a solution available today to rid us of the details and baggage of the past event, in a safe and non-intrusive practice.   This program is called Trauma Recovery Anonymous, a simple spiritual solution that empowers each individual to give the details and the baggage back to the inner child.

This is a very simple solution. 

Accept that depression is a call to action and not a mental disorder

Take the appropriate action, trust the depression or stress feeling, and give the details and baggage of that Loss of Innocence back to its rightful owner, your inner child

Then embrace this 12-step program to undo the learned dysfunctional behavior and bad habits of that disorder diagnosis

Jessica came from a very Christian family home that wasn't exactly healthy. Unfortunately, the message she experienced as a child, was that she was a mistake, an error. Despite all of her troubles in her family home, what made sense to her was that her story was similar to the story of Jesus, in her personal opinion, the sense of abandonment by her  father, was relatable to Jesus being sacrificed for mankind, in her eyes. this perspective helped her to maintain her sanity growing up.

Jessica went down the path of a downward spiral, to such an extent that she was ruled  & defined by shame and not being good enough.

Jessica expands on her belief that we have to die to our old self and this for Jessica, meant taking affirmatives action by embracing recovery, however that was to present to her.

Jessica learned that all our behaviors and addictions are in place to hide past trauma and until we rid ourselves of those behaviors, and bad habits, we can never truly face our demons.

Jessica describes 12 step fellowship as being more church than church ever was

Jessica's journey is a wonderful story of redemption and with so many people church hurt, or disillusioned with the concept of God, Jessica's  story is a welcome  olive branch, to those lost. Alone or abandoned, that there is always a way back and it can  be on your terms than others telling you what to think, feel or believe.

It is my belief that you will find hope and acceptance on this podcast, that you will notice that not everyone faces their own challenges, and coming from a dysfunctional family Christian home, you would imagine, you'd never go back, but deep down, Jessica knew, she couldn't depend on her earthly father, and this wasn't going to deter her from reaching our to her Heavenly Father.

I see Jessica's story is one of great strength; that when we feel at our lowest, and there is no valid support around us, having God, the holy spirit or   a host of angels in your corner, can be a beautiful thing.

Dr. Glenn rose from the ashes of a misspent youth, and at aged 37, had a spiritual awakening,   experiencing an awakening as to  how he could help others return to the path of life.

In his experience, psychotherapy wasn't enough for himself and for many of his patients.

Dr. Glenn believes we need to cultivate our hearts. After reading the teachings of a Chinese philosopher, a chap called " Mensha," he learned that many of us fall into the trap of getting so focused on this material world, we seem to ignore or neglect the well-being of our heart and the hole in our soul.

Dr. Glenn, suggests we need to think outside of the box surrounding mental health, to look at what drives us, what gives us meaning and purpose, or where we can find such conviction.

I pray you enjoy this podcast guest, who taps into the depths of our souls to suggest that there is a much simpler way of seeing life and how we can realign ourselves with life in a more healthier practice.

we only have today, and if we can find some way to 'seize the day' we will be well on our way, to finding our meaning and purpose in life

Dr. Glenn brings a wide scope to the challenges we all face and insights into another perspective on how to deal with such challenges

Dr. Glenn has created an online course to help individuals to find their heart, the drive to help them to turn up for life, one day at a time.

Dr. Glenn, from his professional experience of working  with others, feels many people are looking for a new way, an alternative way to deal with their unnecessary pain and stuckness, as he describes a state many of us find ourselves in.

Dr. Glenn's online course is called:

Heartfinders

His book is called:

Never Say No to a Rockstar

and he can be found across social media and on his website by looking up his name
